Mother's Day

Okay, I must fess up . . . I am no scrapbooker/ cardmaker. But I thought I would make my mom a Mother's day card and I am actually fairly pleased with it. It doesn't have any brads, or flowers, or do dahs on it, but it does have some ribbon!

First, I printed a piece of clip art on some white card stock for the front of the card:

Then, I printed a fun picture of my mom jumping in a puddle on the back of the card, and then a picture of her in her gazebo for the inside of the card:

Then I added the paper trim:

(I was trying to achieve the effect of a shade awning of maybe a little cafe in Paris with the striped paper -- um, oh well)

Then, I added the ribbon. It was a pain to glue, I'm sure there is a better "scrapbooker" way to do this:

Now all I have to do is write in it and stick it in an envelop. Maybe I'll added some stickers to the envelop. My Mom loves stickers!
